Viewing Notes

Phil Rosen remade his own movie from 9 years prior. I’d like a list of all the directors who remade their own movie, a la John Woo’s The Killer.

Was confused initially thinking this was a Curtiz joint bc this is a decent melodrama and one the better Rosen flicks I’ve seen that’s not a Charlie Chan pic. Heavier topic that only gets darker as it goes along.
